16. That doesn't counter what I posted

Israel is still obligated to avoid civilian targets and infrastructure. "But Hamas" is not an excuse, and you can't make that claim credibly when I have yet to see a target that hasn't been bombed because "human shields". Hamas' strategy, whatever that may be, doesn't appear to be affecting anything the IDF does, and the IDF doesn't seem to be all that concerned with Palestinian casualties.

"but Hamas"

Strikes on aid convoys, cutting off food, water and fuel, particularly affecting hospitals, etc. It's not like Hamas is some sort of innocent saint in all this, but insisting that Israel is blameless and has the right to murder anyone they please until they achieve a metric no one except Israel can determine is no less absurd.
